Map of Access to the Juncal Glacier. Imagen: Dirección de Vialidad
From Los Andes, you should take the international road to Mendoza CH-60. Continue on this road for approximately 50 km and exit immediately before the 20-curve slope that ends in Portillo, here begins a dirt road that penetrates the same valley that the railroad used to travel to Mendoza, you can still find traces of its tracks and installations. This road, is generally in good shape. After approximately 8 km you will see two houses, a summer residence for the valley muleteer. This is where the trek begins.
Access by Public Transportation
- You can take a bus in Santiago (at Los Heroes subway terminal) that goes to Mendoza. You have to pay the price of the total trip and negotiate a special price, since you will not be going to Mendoza. Ask to be left at Curva Cero (Curve Cero), or at the Galpon de Vialidad Juncal. From there, the walk is about 2 hours long.
- From Los Andes, take a "colectivo" to Rio Blanco. Ask to be taken either to Curva Cero or Los Hornitos. Walk for about 2 hours.
- From Los Andes take a bus to Rio Blanco. Hitchhike to the gas station to curve cero. Walk for 2 hours.

El Glaciar Juncal queda fuera de los limites del Parque Andino Juncal.
Por lo cual se puede acudir a la Ley de Paso de Servidumbre.
Los limites del Parque Andino Juncal se extiende desde la Quebrada Barros Negros y el muro de piedra en el Valle de Juncal, hasta el estero Monos de Agua, y desde el Rio Juncal hasta la frontera con Argentina.
En caso de no querer pasar por el Parque, se puede pasar antes de la Quebrada Barros Negros y el muro de piedra al Rio Juncal y caminar por su lado oeste, hasta el nacimiento del Rio Juncal y su intersección con el estero Monos de Agua, en el sector del Glaciar Juncal y el Alto de los Leones.
